Ah, I think I know what's going on. The post_max_size setting is probably too low, which would prevent the file from being uploaded. I'll make sure to check that.

Okay, I think I've got this. Mentoring is all about personal and professional development, so I'm going to go with option A. It strengthens an individual's self-development, which seems like the most direct benefit.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to cover different aspects of a job worth hierarchy, but I'm not totally clear on how they all fit together. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This is a tricky one. I'm tempted to go with a slightly more conservative option like A, but I don't want to overcommit either. I'll need to carefully weigh the trade-offs before making a decision.
